  • Long 30 minute video of Holiday shoppers during the Christmas season at the Palisades Center Mall in New York.
    Lots of shopping footage, people browsing for different items, a singing Salvation Army bell ringer and shots around the mall.

    Wow, crazy to see this mall how it was in the first year of its existence. I went to the soft opening of this mall back in late 1997 with my brother. So crazy to see it how it was back then again. It was so packed, you couldn't even find a parking spot. I could have been walking around this mall as a 22 yr old when this footage was taken :). Too bad it ruined the nearby Nanuet Mall. That was where I grew up. Thanks for posting this!!

    Thanks for uploading what the Palisades Mall was like in the '90s (I just want to jump in there to remember what it was like to be in my teens again lol). Unfortunately, most stores in Palisades are replaced with entertainment games like VR or arcades (there isn't that many clothing stores left and I even heard they got rid of the carousel). JCPenney, Lord & Taylor, and now Bed, Bath, and Beyond are all permanently closed. Macy's and Best Buy (along witH BJ's and Home Depot) managed to make it for over 20 years.

    Every once in awhile when I'm here, I actually pull this video up to compare how different the aesthetic is now, and what stores are still there or not. It's interesting to me for some reason. I'm here very often, so it's really cool to see how it used to look. Specifically the shot at 27:10 I got a picture of to compare, and it's almost exactly the same with Johnny Rockets and Nathan's still there, but the Climb Adventure thingy is in the way lmfao. And of course the lighting is so much different. But yeah I love the Palisades Mall. It's been surprisingly busy and alive again lately

    That is what it was like shopping at Madison Square Mall here in Huntsville, AL back in the 90s. I miss that mall. It was demolished in 2017 to make way for a newer outdoor venue and park called Mid City District.
    Palisades reminds me of Opry Mills Mall in Nashville or Cool Springs Galleria a bit. The way the floor layout looks.

    acrylic sweater *on sale* was 20 bucks. that means originally it was probably around 30, of course we can't be sure but let's just guess. currently you can buy an acrylic sweater in fast fashion stores for 20-30 bucks regularly, maybe 10-20 on sale.
    isn't it crazy how the prices of fast fashion have stayed the same or gone down, while everything else has gone up? just shows how these companies are really the shadiest of all...
